Winner's Night Ahead?

Predictions are that there will be a winner tonight, but there can always be surprises. Both leaders still need to stop in White Mountain. Aliy is at mile 742, and minus thirty feet altitude
(on the frozen Bering Sea) and going at 6mph.

And jumping ahead a bit, beginning March 26th in Nome, the All Alaska Sweepstakes. Familiar faces in that crowd will also be Jeff King and Lance Mackey, as well as Ramy Brooks, Mitch Seavey. They will race 408 miles from Nome to Candle and back to Nome. The pot is $100,000. http://www.allalaskasweepstakes.org/Mushers.html
